    Washington state PE exam application

    You will need minimum 4 years under a PE, they will validate this. It also does not have to be your 'boss', it can be a co-worker who can vouch for you. In my case I used 2 people, and had one on standby if needed.

    NCEES TF 2016 #121

    I am having the same problem as the OP. I do see what you're saying Slay but given the reference material in the manual, it can be misleading. When would you use the BHP equation at the bottom? What is the difference between WHP and BHP, as explained for this problem? Also given that it...

    Passing PE Mechanical Thermal the first time (study materials and tips)

    How was the reference manual? I mean is it pdf or some other type program? For example in pdf, if I search chill, Adobe will ask if I want to search just for chill, and will exclude other words such as chiller. That can be useful. Were there pages that you had to rotate? I noticed the...

    Version 1.5 of Reference Handbook is available for download now

    Thanks for the heads up, I've been using v1.3. One thing I noticed in v1.5 that drives me absolutely nuts is they have pages that should be in landscape, in portrait format, like the steam tables. Makes no sense, v1.3 was great as it had all pages rotated correctly.

    SHR on Exam

    Forgive me if I'm not allowed to ask, but has anyone actually had to use SHR ratio for the HVAC exam? This is something I've just learned about, plus trying to come up with some way to use it on the exam seems rather odd. And this is only for the slope on the psychrometric chart I'm referring...
